Bow Meow

So glad to have found this place! Joey is extremely thorough. It is clear that he cares about your pet and his work. My only recommendation is that he change the sign above his shop that still shows All State so others can find him also!

I’ve been going to see Joey for my Labradoodle for years now and he is truly amazing. Not just in his talent for grooming but in his compassion towards the wellbeing of your «kids» as he puts it. He is a man who loves animals through and through and will make sure that you are happy and that your furry friend is happy too!

We used Bow Meow for the first time today and I was very impressed. The owner, Joey, truly loves dogs, and you immediately feel like your pet is in excellent hands when you arrive. My Tibetan Terrier, Charlie, had some matting I didn’t even know he had — Joey found it, called me to let me know the appointment would take a little longer, and then had Charlie ready exactly when he said he’d be ready, matting-​free. The cut was flattering, clean and even, and Charlie smelled terrific. Absolutely planning to return.

1^st visit to Bow Meow today and this place was GREAT for our dog. Our dog is a rescue dog who came to us with some anxiety issues; he is a nervous guy and usually he shakes and is visibly frightened when we leave him off with the groomer.
Today was his 1^st visit to Bow Meow and he was unbelievably super-​comfortable from the get-​go. His comfort level was a little surreal. He kind of walked in as if he owned the place! He had no problem with us leaving him — none, whatsoever. He seemed perfectly happy, and didn’t look back. Grooming took a little longer than usual, but when we came to get him, he wasn’t nervous, he was perfectly relaxed, there were no problems, and he actually was trying to get back inside! Oh, and the grooming itself – fabulous! Our dog is an 11 year old Bichon-​Poodle mix and he looked GREAT, smelled great, and had no knots – anywhere. Love, love, love this place – I think the owner is extremely interested in your pet’s best interest. He is a wonderful man. Bring your dog here, you will not regret it in any way.

We recently relocated to Ardsley, NY and were in need of a groomer for our two senior westies. after doing a quick search (and a few drive-​bys of the shop) we made an appointment and took our dogs to Bow Meow. Though my dogs were nervous when we arrived, Joey got down on the floor to pet them and show them love and they quickly calmed and had a great experience — they looked fabulous when I picked them up too! He treats my dogs as if they’re his pets/​family — and I love that he calls them «the kids» or «the girls». Upon arrival at our first appointment, we went over their health and grooming history and any skin issues they had recently (i figured that was becasue we were new). But on my next visit Joey spent the same amount of time with me reviewing recent activities/​skin issues/​etc. — its because he cares and is so very thorough — he does this each visit! When we pick them up, we get a full report on their day and anything he found out of the ordinary on their coats. Fantastic local business, we’ll continue to take our furbabies to Bow Meow — highly recommend this groomer for your pets!

I would highly recommend Bow Meow. I 1^st brought my Bouvier to Joey when she was a puppy and for 12 years I was always happy with the service of Joey and his staff. Joey was always attentive to my needs and would always accommodating to my needs and schedule. He was especially attentive to the needs and moods of my Rosie. He treated them as his own children. Although Rosie is gone, I will always think highly of Joey and Bow Meow.

Joey does a great job not only grooming but caring for the owners opinion and the dogs comfort. He is great with newcomers! My dog had never been groomed before and had a very easy tradition. She was not by any mean «traumatized» by the experience. Joey is very accommodating and knows the do’s and don’ts of grooming. We will definitely be back!

My wheaton has been a customer of Bow Meow since he was a pup. Joey has always been a patient and caring groomer. Kobe loved to visit the salon and always came out looking great and smelling clean. Joey is a wonderful groomer and nice guy. Our Kobe was recently very ill and when we needed to get him in for a quick grooming Joey always accomodated us. Sadly we won’t be needing Joey’s service any longer but if we get another dog in the future we will certainly continue to be a client of Bow Meow.

He came recommended to me and was actually a nightmare-​like, hellish experience for both myself and my dog. He mishandles dogs and I wonder if he has had any formal pet groomer training. I’d love to see the certificate…
Either way, you couldn’t pay me to go back. Bow Meow doesn’t even deserve one star.

I’ve been going to Bow Meow for more than 10 years with various pets and Joey is the best. He treats my 5 year old Maltese Yorkie mix as if he is a family member and he genuinely cares about the animals. I feel safe knowing that my dog is in a sort of cubby type area and not locked in a cage when the grooming is done. Joey goes over details when you arrive asking what is new if there is any problems since you’ve seen him last and then gives a full report when you pick up your dog. I recommend Bow Meow to anyone who wants quality work by a professional that cares about your pet as much as you do.

I’ve just moved to Scarsdale and was in need of a groomer for my Miniature Poodle, Stella. She is a sweet girl but always needs a little extra TLC when it comes to grooming. I had originally made an appointment with another groomer who only asked her breed and name. They were less than accommodating in terms of when I was able to bring her in. I kept searching and found Bow Meow on Unilocal.I decided to give them a call and see if they could get me in sooner.
Not only did they get me in right away, but Joey spend a good amount of time with me asking about my dog’s level of comfort with the grooming process, medical issues, skin sensitivities etc. I immediately felt more comfortable bringing my darling girl here, so I canceled the appointment at the other place.
When I brought Stella in, she was very nervous at first (the smart girl has always been edgy when she sees me pack for vacation, so imagine how she was feeling after moving to a new place!). Joey spent a good amount of time with me again, discussing the intricacies of grooming a Poodle and what my preferences are.
Joey was very patient with her and gave me a detailed report of her first day there. It was clear throughout the entire experience that he loves dogs and would treat any dog that comes in as his own. I will say that the price of her grooming was a little more than I had in mind, but you get what you pay for here. I will definitely be bringing her back!

My Wheaton Terrier, Maggie has always been difficult to groom. She tries to bite the hair dryer, and forget about the brush. Joey is patient, understanding, and has a very calming influence. Not sure how he does it but he is able to get done what most groomers have not been able to do. Oh, and the haircuts are always perfect.

The best in the business. Joey cares about your pet, and knows that a dog is a family member, and always takes great care during groomings. He work’s with you on schedule and his work is top notch.

They do a great job, both in terms of the quality of the grooming and the way that they treat both the dogs and owners.
They are accomodating, in terms of schedule, and always have the dog ready on-​time.

I’m surprised to be the first one writing a review, as Bow Meow has been around for a very long time now — and with good reasoning.
I took my 7 month old Mini-​Schnauzer here for his first grooming ever. Monk’s hair was overgrown and matting terribly in certain areas, so we took it here for him to get the proper cut.
Well, we dropped him off in the morning but got a call back an hour later from Joe (I believe), who said that he didn’t want to continue cutting Monk’s hair because he was too uncomfortable, and didn’t want to traumatize his first groom experience. To me, that is the most impressive thing any groomer can do — exercise control, value of the customer and animal, all while making no profit (He didn’t let us pay).
Joe practically cleaned, cut and trimmed all of Monk, but wouldn’t let us pay because he couldn’t finish through. I’m sure if I took my buddy to PetCo or any other large chain, he would’ve been restrained and traumatized by some heartless ***hole.
Nonetheless, Monk actually looks great even though Joe wasn’t able to finish. He was compassionate to our puppy, knew to call us right away and even didn’t let us pay as a courtesy.
It is very very hard to find service like this these days.
I will be going to BowMeow again and will be recommending them to my friends and strangers. I highly suggest you give them a try, and no, this message was not endorsed by BowMeow.
